From world-famous department stores to amazing boutiques, the Big Apple has it all

Barneys New York

Barneys New York

Can you come to New York and not go to Barneys? Well, you could, but you’d be missing out on a gem. The flagship is home to one of the best shoe departments around (we suggest just sitting on the fifth floor for a while). The designer collections can wreak havoc on your credit card, and should. If you’re exhausted from a day of shopping, head to Fred’s for some wine and a lobster salad.

Bergdorf Goodman

Bergdorf Goodman

There are few stores famous enough to get their own movie—but Bergdorfs is no mere store. Sure it’s filled with jewelry, scarves, shoes, handbags, and more designer labels than you can bat a lash at. But more important, the service here is impeccable. Many a store could learn a trick or two from Bergdorfs. Peruse each and every floor with care—you don’t want to miss anything, trust us. Pop by BGs Restaurant and rest your heels while sipping some champagne.
